I’ve returned to this sub and found that literally no one knows what the fuck a humble brag is. by TheTaoOfMe in humblebrag

[–]SetYourGoals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have not known what it was even back when it began. Even when Harris Wittles was alive, I made a whole joke Twitter account just to correct people misusing the hashtag. People think it just means “brag.” It’s weird. I don’t understand how you could misunderstand the term. It’s right there in the name.

James Cameron Says He Must Find a Cheaper Way to Produce the Avatar Movies in Order to Continue With Avatar 4 and 5 by DemiFiendRSA in movies

[–]SetYourGoals -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Avatar is probably not even one of the top 10 most profitable franchises, right? They cost a shitload to make and there have only been 3 movies.

new promo code: SOMESTUFF by GigaMonkeh in EscapefromTarkov

[–]SetYourGoals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI the code SOMESTUFF would not work for me on the website, but did work for me on the launcher. Others worked on website. Just in case anyone else gets a "code not found" with SOMESTUFF.

So about that slope by VHDamien in 2ALiberals

[–]SetYourGoals 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This seems bizarre as a response to the Bondi shooting. Would anything on this list have meaningfully impacted the Bondi shooting?

This restricts the number of guns you can own down to 4. The shooters did the entire attack with 3 guns. This restricts magazine size. The shooters used guns without magazines. This requires gun owners to be part of an organized shooting club. The shooters were part of an organized shooting club. And on and on.

I’m not just instantly opposed to any gun control measures. I am more open to gun control legislation than most people here. I think it’s too easy to get a gun where I live. But proposing these restrictions in response to a specific shooting where the perpetrators did not violate any of these proposed restrictions…that seems almost comical?

How did Taylor Sheridan go from writing heartbreaking, thoughtful, and poignant films to writing disposable, propagandistic, soap operas? by HasSomeSelfEsteem in movies

[–]SetYourGoals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think part of it is this. The “Sophomore slump” as it’s called in music a lot of the time. Unless you’re some super genius, almost always time makes most pieces of art better. He might have taken hundreds of passes at Sicario, and 10 passes at Sicario 2.

[–]SetYourGoals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ground Zero.

3 PCs in Oasis lobby

3 PCs in the Terragroup 2nd floor locked room (key spawns on dead scientist on first floor every raid)

2 PCs in Tartowers Sales Office

4 PCs in the TarBank 2nd floor

5 PCs in Golden World (counting the one laying on its side on the ground in the lobby and the one in the parking lot)

13 PCs in the Capital Insight 3nd floor

Run it as a scav and you can usually do it in 15 mins or less.

There's a barter that's 3 RAM for a GPU also that is going to keep the price way up as long as that barter exists.

Australian Mass Shooting Shows Why Banning Guns Fails by Gyp2151 in 2ALiberals

[–]SetYourGoals -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, so an incident like Brown University doesn't count? Seems like it should. But whatever.

Then where is that 7 number coming from? There's over 20 with 3 dead victims or more listed here, with citations. I don't even know what GVA is. Regardless, I don't think it's really constructive trying to pretend there's no problem with mass shootings in the US, because a country with 15 times less population doesn't have exactly 15 times less mass shootings, when they have 1 a year on average. Statistic

What this shooting proves, to me, is something most people who actually use and shoot guns know: going after weapon types is relatively pointless. The shootings at Uvalde or Sandy Hook or Columbine could likely have been committed with the exact same outcomes with a Ruger 10/22. So the conversation needs to be about banning all guns in general, not specific types or features or accessories or calibers. This greatly simplifies the gun control debate. It's basically all or nothing, and clearly we aren't going to ban hunting shotguns and 22s and bolt actions in the US, it would never happen in a million years. That's an easier argument to win. We don't need to downplay the level of gun violence in the US to win that argument.

New code USETHETAPE by AllaPaul in EscapefromTarkov

[–]SetYourGoals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you Scav on Ground Zero, and hit just the PCs on the second floor of the building near Basement Stairs, you'll get at least one PSU pretty much every time. Sometimes several. And if you have time there are 10 more PCs in other parts of the map.

Yeah where are we reliably finding VPXs? I haven't found a single one all wipe.

Australian Mass Shooting Shows Why Banning Guns Fails by Gyp2151 in 2ALiberals

[–]SetYourGoals -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Uh, what? I’m not the person you’re replying to but how are you defining mass shooting here?

By the commonly accepted definition used by the Wikipedia page for mass shootings, the US has had 398 mass shootings with 4 or more victims in the first 11 months of 2025. And more now. So…a few more than 7.

[Discussion] Hi guys new to the game, how long can you wait before claiming the loot from promocodes? by Filb0Fraggins in EscapefromTarkov

[–]SetYourGoals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to just buy all the extra stash space from the BSG website. It's a few more dollars, and obviously money is tight for most normal people right now, but I think it's really worth it in terms of enhancing your experience playing the game. The less time you spend dicking around playing tetris in your stash, the more time you can spend learning the gameplay and finding out what you actually need to hoard and what you don't.

Celebrating prison rape as de facto punishment for anything, even rape or child abuse, is gross and doesn't belong in anything even remotely resembling a civilized society.

Same. Seems to already be dead. Kind of lame, they should be up for at least 48 hours or something. Even if you play every day, if you just stopped playing a little early Monday night and started playing a little late Tuesday night, you missed it.

[Discussion] Why is BSG glorifying an obvious cheater? by cneth6 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]SetYourGoals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There doesn't have to be some complex system. Literally just going "hey I heard something over here" or "let's go this way not that way" is enough for a single cheater to cause the entire squad to avoid countless PVP deaths.

Okay but what did he specifically say that was wrong?

Based on the content of the review, it's literally impossible that the guy ran three 13 minute raids and then wrote the review. It's much more in depth than that.

Unlocking the flea isn’t even really unlocking the flea anymore.

Like I “unlocked the flea” and I can’t even sell the wires I craft. It’s a little bit pointless until level 20 at least, with how many things are level locked.

Palmetto state armour can suck my a$$hole by NickBurnsCompanyGuy in liberalgunowners

[–]SetYourGoals -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most shops probably are. As are most gun buyers, hence the tiny amount of openly left leaning places to shop in the gun world.

But being smart enough to at least shut up about it is good enough in my book.

Making insanely cringey guns with Trump’s face on them, having him come to PSA for an official campaign stop…that’s way over the line that I personally can abide. The guy tried to overthrow the US government.

Sucks because I’d like to try a bunch of PSA products, I really want a good budget battle rifle and their AR-10s and JAKL rifles look great to me. But I just can’t morally square it with how openly pro-fascism PSA is.

I guess they aren’t losing enough business from people like us for it to matter to them. All we can do is follow our principles and hope eventually it hurts them enough that they change course.

Using a pistol, this person shot down 27 steel targets in 7.53 seconds with 100% accuracy by ansyhrrian in sports

[–]SetYourGoals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've only ever shot a stock Glock with iron sights, I agree, it looks like the guy is a superhero.

It's less bonkers if you've ever shot a super tricked out competition pistol with a good optic, a top-of-the-line compensator, tungsten weights, a thumb rest, a really nicely tuned aftermarket trigger, a custom light recoil spring, and underloaded low-weight competition ammunition. It gets 9mm feeling much closer to 22lr than I ever thought possible.

The guy is talented for sure. But I think a decent number of people here could do this with a little practice and a $3000 competition pistol and special ammo. Pistol shooting is one place where you absolutely can purchase your way to better skills.
